A Popham Adventure

A day with the Wardwells is always an adventure! So, we decided to take our adventure to fort Popham. To all those who don't know, there are a few extra forts up on the hill near Fort Popham. I'm not sure of their names, but I beleive that they are part of the original first people to set foot in Maine.
We walked up the hill to explore the forts a bit and have some lunch. 
Boys will be boys- here is a montage of the war of the first Popham settlers.








As you can tell, it didn't turn out to well....


John-Boy Wardwell in the tower.
Nettie had to be in on it too! She was just so cute with that little piece of leaf on her nose.
The TOWER.
Sooo high...
Princess Emily
A petrified princess Hannah, locked up in a tower... where's that prince when you need him!!
That's a long way down!!
Emily, singing beautifully in the tower- great accoustics.
Thoughtful, lovely Hannah
Oooo look, we found a soldier!
simply me

Big, blue-eyed Stephen!
This was the only means of getting out of that portion of the fort!

Hannah took a lot of pretty photos!


This is my Miss Piggy moment, as Jolie puts it...
Supergirl!!
After much sweat and a God-given parking spot, we finally made it to the water!

Even Nettie wanted to cool off!
Emily, ever the serving young lady that she is, offered to doggy-sit.
There is nothing like the Maine coast. And I was so thankful to be able to share it with such good friends!

Prayer

Thank you to all who prayed for little Addy Becker. She was doing much better after surgery, but now they are having to do more tests on her. There is a possibility that she will need a liver transplant. Please just keep the Wardwell and Becker families in your prayers. God is good and their faith through this time is an encouragement.

Welcome To Butterpoint

Welcome to Butterpoint,
It's not too far to sea.
Welcome to Butterpoint
Stop awhile,
Talk awhile,
Everyone feel free.
Welcome to Butterpoint.
It's not too far to see.
Welcome to Butterpoint.
Stop awile,
Talk awhile,
Everyone feel free.
~ from the song "Welcome to Butterpoint "

One Thursday in September....

....the Fletcher kids came over....
....we discovered "photo booth" on my macbook....
....and spent....
...quite a bit...

..of time...


...playing!!!
This is one of my favorites!!




And then Dad called and let us know that his technicians informed him that all of the planets were lined up , therefore the gravitational pull had altered and....
.... you could stand up a broom by it's bristles and it wouldn't fall over!
I have no evidence of the actuality of the alignment of the planets (couldn't find anything online), but we set a broom in mom and dad's room and it stayed up from 12:30pm until Dad accidentally knocked it down in the middle of the night! We were trying to see if we could set a world record. Guinness Book of World Records here we come for the longest free-standing broom by it's bristles..... ok, maybe not...
Then it was off to pick apples until...
... a call came and a precious package arrived!!!

Updates

I misinformed everyone on the name of the new Fletcher baby. I was able to see him in the hospital yesterday and found out his actual name is Bryce Joseph Wilson Fletcher.
Here is baby Bryce with his affectionate older brothers and Daddy. He has been born into an extremely special family!
I've decided that I like the two middle names. It's even more meaningful for the Fletchers because they are all family middle names and their daddy picked out all of the names himself!!
UPDATE: Baby Addy is scheduled to have surgery on her little liver on Monday at 10:45 am. Please keep her in your prayers as well as the doctors and nurses. Also pray for her family- The Wardwells and her mommy Megan, daddy Casey and little brother CJ. Thanks soo much! God is in control.
